Moving applications to the Cloud has many advantages. It provides flexible access to resources on-demand and allows hybrid deployments that spread IT services across on-premise, the Public Cloud, and Private Cloud data centres. Most applications use a database to store the data that they need to operate. Either for user data, or other data such […]

Cybersecurity is an ongoing task, as we often say in our blogs and seminars. With the ever-expanding threat surface due to IoT adoptions and other Industry 4.0 technologies, all businesses and other organisations must stay ahead of the security curve. Especially now in the era of GDPR and the ever-increasing sanctions that are being levied […]

Data breaches are still a threat for all organisations and with the advent of GDPR in the EU, the implications if one occurs go beyond the reputational into the potentially significant financial area. Most of the focus on preventing data breaches is on thwarting attacks from outside, but there is potential for data leakage from […]
